It’s that special time of year! The Thanksgiving turkey has been eaten, the end of the fall semester is in sight, and it is officially socially acceptable to start celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and all other wonderful winter holidays. After you leave your favorite finals study spot, take some time to explore some of these Bryan-College Station festivities to get you in the holiday spirit!
